WeWork India Launches ‘Rivet’ Design & Build Platform; Arnav S. Gusain Named CEO
WeWork India currently operates across eight cities with more than 1.21 lakh desks and 73 centres covering about 8.2 million sq. ft., serving businesses ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
New Delhi: WeWork India Management Limited has launched Rivet by WeWork India, a new design-and-build platform aimed at delivering integrated, customised commercial workspaces for enterprises and end users. The company has also elevated Arnav S. Gusain as Chief Executive Officer of Rivet, in addition to his current role as Chief Supply Officer at WeWork India.
The platform seeks to address growing demand for end-to-end workspace delivery as India’s commercial office market expands rapidly. According to JLL, gross leasing activity in the country reached 83.3 million sq. ft. in 2025, reflecting rising demand for high-quality, future-ready workplaces.
Built on WeWork India’s experience in designing and operating large-scale commercial workspaces, Rivet will provide a single-contract model with unified accountability, offering services from concept and design to engineering, construction and commissioning. The platform integrates BIM-led planning, real-time site monitoring and structured financial governance to improve cost transparency, delivery timelines and execution efficiency.
Karan Virwani, managing director and CEO of WeWork India, said the launch reflects the company’s evolution from a flexible workspace operator to a broader workspace-as-a-service platform. He noted that the company has designed and operated over 8.2 million sq. ft. of workspace across multiple markets over the past eight years.
Virwani said Arnav S Gusain’s appointment as CEO of Rivet will support the new vertical’s growth, citing his three decades of experience in real estate and workspace development and his role in expanding WeWork India’s supply portfolio.
Gusain said enterprises are making increasingly strategic investments in workplace infrastructure, but the design-and-build ecosystem remains fragmented. Rivet aims to address this gap by combining real estate intelligence, design expertise and operational experience to deliver workspaces engineered for long-term performance.
